[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 3927618, member: 29398"] Something that's occurred to me while catching up on the stupendous amount of reading this thread has generated since yesterday: It wouldn't bother me in the slightest if WotC decided to release 4e this year, 5e next year, and 6e the year after [B]IF[/B] they would provide official support* to [B]all[/B] the various editions, past and present, side by side. That way everyone gets something approximating the game they want; it's all still D+D, and WotC sells more material overall. * - this could include sanctioning the RPGA to run any published edition, offering Sage Advice support for any edition, publishing modules/expansions/settings for all the various editions, etc. Where they lose my vote is in the hard change...one month they only support 3e, the next month 3e is kicked to the curb and they only support 4e. Why not support both? Oh, and for clarity: I represent most if not all of the quasi-established definition of a grognard - mid-40's, still play 1e (and 3e), dont like change unless it makes sense to me. I'll probably pick up the 4e PH and DMG not long after release, just to see what's there, but at this point I rather doubt I'll be playing or running it. (though it *could* still blow my socks off to the point where I convert on the spot...) Lanefan [/QUOTE]
